Envision the world through the prism of Gita

When confronted with adversities we
look towards God and hope that he will change the situation as per our own
liking. We expect God to do a magic in our life. But we see that in case of
Arjuna the external situations and circumstances always remained the same. When
Arjuna was utterly confused, he beseeched Krishna to show him the right path. “Now I am confused about my duty and have
lost all composure because of miserly weakness. In this condition I am asking
You to tell me for certain what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple, and a
soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me.” (Bhagavad Gita 2.7). Before
Krishna spoke to him the message of Gita he was about to fight the war and
after the Gita was spoken he still had to fight. Externally nothing changed. Krishna
showed Arjuna the right path by purifying his consciousness.

Spirituality does not necessarily
change the circumstances but it spiritualizes and cleanses our consciousness helping
us to distinguish between righteous and unrighteous path. If we bring Krishna
in our life then like Arjuna he will grant us a vision to envision the world
through the prism of Gita which would help us to overcome any difficulties of
our life.
